Abstract

Composite materials having at least one of the following desirable properties is described. Such properties include: rigidity, printability, water-proofness, pliability, recyclable, thermochromic, antimicrobial, electrically conductive, compostable or biodegradability. The composite includes a filler-containing layer and a fiber-containing layer substantially coupled together continuously across the at least one surface of the layers. These composites maybe useful in various markets including, but not limited to, construction, packaging, shipping, consumer products and medical packaging. The inventive composites provide, advantages such as reduction of environmental footprint, improved mechanical properties, usefulness/cost ratio, reduction in material costs compared to prior art, and cosmetic performance are embodied in the present invention.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Nos. 61 / 129,524, filed Jul. 2, 2008; and 61 / 194,330, filed Sep. 26, 2008; the contents of all of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to the field of composites. More particularly, the present invention relates to compositions, articles of manufacture and methods related to composites that are environmentally friendly.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Synthetic paper or papers made with polymers and other fillers are usually described as transparent to completely opaque plastic films that are printable, writable and water resistance. The synthetic paper market has been traditionally a niche market with high profits but only few major participants. Historically, labels have dominated the market for synthetic paper. They are manufactured through various processing methods.[0004]Solid bleached s...
